After 3 years at the top of the enterprise drone industry, the Matrice 300 is getting a hardware upgrade that culminates today with the Matrice 350 RTK (M350 RTK).
DJI Matrice 350 RTK top 6 features:
- Increased durability and weather resistance;
- A flagship remote control: DJI RC Plus;
- Improved transmission system;
- Full compatibility with DJI Enterprise payloads;
- FPV night camera
- New battery system with more life cycles
Durability and weather resistance.
The DJI M350 RTK is a drone that excels in durability and weather resistance, making it a reliable tool for various weather conditions. It is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, with a range of -20°C to 50° C (-4 to 122 F). In addition, its IP55 rating ensures complete protection against rain and sand, even when the drone is folded.
The Matrice 350 RTK sets a new benchmark for the industry. This next generation drone platform features an entirely new video transmission system and control experience, a more efficient battery system and more comprehensive safety features, as well as robust payload and expansion capabilities. It’s fully equipped to inject innovative power into any aerial operation.
A flagship remote control: DJI RC Plus.
The M350 RTK comes equipped with the DJI RC Plus, which has an IP54 rating for durability. Originally launched with the M30, the DJI RC Plus has received extremely positive feedback. The larger size offers improved ergonomics and a larger screen, enhancing the overall flight experience. The addition of physical buttons allows for seamless operation of the drone, including changing camera view, without the need to take your fingers off the control knobs. In addition, the M350 RTK supports Advanced Dual Control, allowing two pilots to work together efficiently.
Equipped with a 7-inch high brightness display, the DJI RC Plus supports dual operator mode and comes with a standard WB37 external battery that offers a runtime of up to six hours, meeting various operational needs.
For owners of the M300 RTK who are not ready to upgrade to the M350 RTK, the DJI RC Plus is fully compatible and can be purchased separately.
DJI OcuSync 3 Enterprise Transmission System.
The Matrice 350 RTK features an upgraded OcuSync 3 Enterprise Transmission system, for seamless connectivity with the DJI RC Plus. Both the aircraft and remote control have a four-antenna transmission system, which can intelligently select the optimal two antennas to transmit signals, while all four antennas receive signals simultaneously. This significantly improves anti-interference capabilities and optimises transmission stability.
Equipped with four built-in antennas (one placed on each front arm, one under the FPV camera and one on the rear), the transmission system ensures stable connections. The propellers have also been upgraded to a non-conductive material, eliminating any interference with the antenna signal. With enhanced antenna options, the transmission system offers 1080p triple channel video transmission, facilitating smooth video streaming and seamless switching between incoming feeds. Even in complex environments, the M350 RTK maintains stable connections over distances up to 20km.
Full compatibility with DJI Enterprise payloads
The Matrice 350 RTK is compatible with all of the Matrice 300 RTK payloads, including the Zenmuse H20N for night operations, the H20T for inspections and thermal work, the L1 for LiDAR and the P1 for aerial surveying. The DJI Payload SDK further expands the capabilities of the M350 RTK, allowing integration with third-party payloads tailored for specific applications.
Travel and transport.
The new BS65 smart battery station provides a comprehensive solution for battery charging, storage and transportation.
Transporting a large drone like the Matrice 350 RTK can be challenging, but DJI has addressed this concern by redesigning the drone’s protective case. A side-by-side comparison with the M300 RTK’s case reveals a significant reduction in size, making it more convenient to carry and store. The addition of 360-degree wheels further increases portability, allowing users to effortlessly rotate the case to their desired location. Inside the case, the foam inserts have also been completely revamped to provide better organisation and protection.
Owners of the M300 RTK will be pleased to know that the case is available for separate purchase, also providing enhanced carrying capabilities.
Battery system.
The Matrice 350 RTK is equipped with a new TB65 dual battery system, which supports hot swapping of the battery and allows for multiple flights without shutdown. The battery can be charged up to 400 cycles, reducing the cost of a single flight. Battery management is a crucial aspect of any drone operation, and DJI has made significant optimizations to the M350 RTK’s battery system to streamline this process. Each M350 RTK comes with a redesigned battery charging station that not only reduces overall weight, but also features 360-degree wheels for improved mobility.
TB65 batteries offer exceptional performance, capable of powering the M350 RTK for up to 55 minutes of flight time when fully charged. These batteries are fully hot-swappable, allowing users to easily swap out worn out batteries for new ones, minimising mission interruptions. The introduction of heat sinks in each battery, aligned with the fan openings in the charging case, facilitates faster and more efficient charging by cooling the batteries.
The charging case itself has undergone optimisations and offers space for four WB37 RC batteries and eight TB65 drone batteries. It offers three different charging modes to meet specific needs:
- Storage mode charges the batteries to 50% capacity, ideal for extending battery life when not planning immediate flights.
- Ready-to-Fly mode charges each pair of batteries to 90% capacity, allowing for quick readiness during active flight sessions.
- Standard Mode recharges the batteries to 100% capacity, suitable for urgent situations or critical missions.
The charging case also incorporates a 65W USB-C charging port for conveniently charging other devices such as phones or computers.
Conclusion
The DJI M350 RTK sets a new benchmark in the world of drones, offering users better performance, durability and exceptional ease of use. Its enhanced weather resistance and durability make it a reliable tool even in the most hostile environments. With the DJI RC Plus, pilots can enjoy an enhanced flying experience and efficient operation. The upgraded transmission system ensures stable connections and high-quality video transmission, while the redesigned arm locking mechanism increases safety and reliability. The low-light FPV camera expands the drone’s capabilities, enabling operations in challenging lighting conditions. In addition, the ideal travel design and optimised battery system make transportation and battery management easier. The Matrice 350 RTK adds a new arm lock detection feature to prevent the risk of the arm sleeves becoming unlocked, allowing you to focus on flight with greater peace of mind.
